LOUISVILLE, KY. April 24.-The
brutal assailant of Jennie Bowman, the
white domestic who was so horribly and
fatally beaten up by burglar in broad day
light last Thursday. has been captured.
The arrest was made last night and the
guilt OF the man surely established by his
own confession. The police authorities
withheld the news from the papers until 10
o'clock this morning when they had taken
the miscreant, who is q burly black negro
named Albert Turner, to Frankfort, fearing
that he would be lynched here Had the
details Of the capture become public last
night. the negro would most certainly have
been hung by mob before morning, so in
censed are the people at the outrage. 1t
will be remembered that the man
entered the house, located in the
fashionable residence portion of the
city between the hours of IL and 1 in the
morning, having first observed that all of
the inmates had left. While he was rail-
sackng the place the girl returned and
pluckly fought him, giving him several Sc
we're gashes in the face with tumbler. The
brute knocked her down, crushing in her
skull with brass poker. and otherwise dis
figuring her, and then made his escape.

it was found that negro had been lying
for several days secreted in stable in the
central portion of the city. He was ar
rested, but denied his guilt, notwithstand-
ing his face was bandaged and had evidently
been cut with some rough, jagged inStru-
ment. While Chief of Police Whalen was
questioning him he was called cut by the
arrival OF a prisoner wounded in
A CUTTING SCRAPE.
After examining the wounds to discover
their extent he returned to his office before
he lad washed his hands, and as he en-
tered, the police officers who had searched
Turner's room. came in. They had found
secreted there pair of silk stockings and
a big silk handkerchief, the only articles
missed by A. Y, johnson, at whose house
Jennie Bowman was assaulted. Col.
Whalen came in with his bloody hands Just
as the officers exhibited the handkerchief
and stockings. the mute proof of the terri
bic crime. The sight of these was too
much for Turner. Throwing up his hands,
he cried out: II done it. l done it, but l
couldn't help it." He broke down COM
pletely and soon told the awful story. He
said he had gone to the house for the
purpose of robbery and had ransacked
several rooms when Miss Bowman came in.
The brave girl seized him at once, he said,
and he couldn't get away from her and he
struck her on the head. He knocked her
down, but she sprang up again and struck
him with the glass. He caught up the
poker and struck her again and again, but
the glass was shivered on his head and
hands before she was overpowered. He
then said when she fell for the last time he
ran out of the back way and escaped, hay
ing already placed the bureau key, hand
kerchief and stockings in his pocket. The
key he threw away short distance from
the house and this was found yesterday
by some boys who had carried it to the po-
lice. The girl still lugers at the point of
death with slight hopes OF recovery.
Turner made confession tonight in
which he implicated Patterson, who was
arrested and taken to Frankfort. Turner
says the two beat and kicked the girl to in
sensibility. and then carried her to her
room. where Patterson tried to rayish her
but was prevented by Turner.
